Notes

Methi paratha could be rolled as a lachha paratha or layered paratha.
If you want you can mix 1/2 cup of gram flour (besan) in whole wheat flour.
Dry Methi can be used instead of fresh Methi, and if you are using dry methi, then take 1 cup of dry methi, take out the visible dirt and pebbled out and soak it in a bowl with the water for half an hour so that all the soil settle down in the bottom of the bowl. Once it is soaked, with a strainer, drain and wash, and then mix with the flour.
These parathas remains soft even hours later, if you keep them wrapped in a soft cotton cloth.
